Safety management is managing business activities and applying
principles, framework, processes to help prevent accidents,
injuries and to minimise other risk

General Safety – General aspects of safety which are common to all industries
Occupational Safety and Health – Particularly associated with the occupation
Process and Production Safety – Production Department
Material Safety – Related to materials
Workplace Safety – Safety issues directly related to the workplace setting
Fire Safety
Electrical Safety – Arising from the equipment used
Building and Structural Safety – Including installations as per existing building code
Environmental Safety – Concerns the direct and indirect environmental impact of the
industry

Causes of Accident Unsafe Act & unsafe Condition are basic

cause of any Accident.
When both conjugate at one point then accident happened. In other words, Human and
mechanical failure are causes of accident.

5.1 Unsafe Act Commiting mistake by person or Any act that may lead to
accident is known as unsafe act. Following are example of unsafe act:
 Working without wearing safety helmet & safety Shoes
 Working at height without wearing full body harness.
 Taking Rest in working Areas
 working or Taking rest below Hanging Load
 Over speeding
 Operating equipment without qualification or authorization.
 Lack of/or improper use of PPE
 Operating equipment at unsafe speeds
 Failure to warn
  Bypass or removal of safety devices
 Using defective equipment

5.2 Unsafe condition Any sources or sitution or condition that have

potential to create accident is known as unsafe condition.
Following are example of unsafe Condition:

 Damage welding Cable

 Mechanical guard not Provided on rotating parts
 Defective sling or lifting equipment.
 Defective work platform
 Floor or platformOpening, Pits
 Poor housekeeping
 Defective tools, equipment or supplies
 Inadequate supports or guards
 Congestion in the workplace
 Inadequate warning systems
 Common Errors in Safety Management

FAILING TO BE PROACTIVE
When it comes to managing workplace safety, it can be very easy to fall into the habit of
being reactive rather than proactive. For example, rather than establishing a continuous
assessment of the work environment, managers may merely implement new safety protocols
after an accident has occurred.

This lack of proactivity can be extremely dangerous for safety supervisors as well as their
team. Furthermore, this approach has the potential to send mixed messages to employees and
peers, for some may feel as though their safety and well-being are only a priority after an
accident has occurred.

As aforementioned, a key way to manage this error is by establishing a safety program that
continuously seeks out potential workplace hazards. Another way to solve this issue is to
include safety awareness into the overall workplace culture. That way, every employee will
be aiding another as they go about their daily tasks, making note of any potential hazards that
they may come across in the process.

LACK OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Effective communication is one of the most essential components of human interaction.
Therefore, it naturally has played a crucial role in creating and maintaining a friendly,
comfortable workplace.

Sadly, effective communication (as well as its importance) is often overlooked or taken for
granted. For example, in large companies, employees might not be well acquainted with one
another. Thus, to an employee in a non-safety department, speaking with a safety manager
might seem as uncomfortable and strained as speaking with a stranger walking on the street,
and vice versa.
Due to this discomfort, both may have difficulties connecting and effectively communicating
with one another. This lack of effective communication has the potential to translate into an
ineffective safety program, for safety managers often develop programs around the feedback
they get from peers.

To promote effective communication, safety managers should do their best to create and
maintain an open communication system, whether that is via phone, email, or a team-wide
messaging platform like Slack. This way, managers and employees can briefly check-in with
each other as needed (for large companies, this can be as easy as a brief follow-up).
NOT PROPERLY TRAINING OR EDUCATING STAFF
A lack of proper training can be a common error when it comes to safety management. This
is often due not to a lack of effort, but rather because safety managers assume that employees
know what they know. By no means does this mean that safety manager should not approach
their peers as intellectual equals, but it is essential that mangers remember that everyone has
their own specialty (i.e. safety managers keep up-to-date on the most recent safety protocols
and procedures, while marketing managers stay on top of the marketing industry, etc.).

To be certain that staff are properly educated, managers should make sure that they take any
industry abbreviations or phrases and translate them into simple English. This way staff
members from any department will be able to equally understand the necessary protocols and
methodologies.

FATIGUE
Fatigue plays a deceptive role in safety management. Such is the case largely because
fatigued individuals are often too tired to even consider potential hazards. Fatigue can also
influence an individual’s ability to properly perform duties and tasks, which results in a far
more dangerous situation than if an individual was alert and aware.

One of the recent trends in combating fatigue has been taking short breaks when possible.
Stepping away from the current task allows the brain to refresh, leaving individuals feeling
more alert and less exhausted. For these breaks, individuals can do something as simple as
walking and grabbing a glass of water or stepping out for a quick breath of fresh air.

While the errors mentioned above serve as the most common errors, it is important to keep in
mind that there are a variety of potential workplace hazards. Therefore, to maintain top safety
awareness, managers should do their best to stay alert and informed, both on the job and
when researching industry advancements.
Accident prevention strategies Accident can be prevented to
I) Eliminate hazard or
II) Prevent unsafe practices

HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping always increases productivity.
It prevents injury such as fall, Trip, Slip, fire etc.
Poor Housekeeping is source of Accident.
Good housekeeping means materials have stacked properly & kept separately.

Example of poor housekeeping

1 Benefits of Good Housekeeping

 Eliminates accident and fire hazards.

 Maintains safe, healthy work conditions.
 Saves time, money, materials, space, and effort.
 Improves productivity and quality.
 Reflects a well-run organization.

Example of good housekeeping

Hazard in a Industries
Different Types of hazard found in an industries as per their Nature.
Types of Hazard:
 Fall of person due to poor workmanship, loss of balance, uneven surface, floor
opening,
 poor work platform, working at height without using full body harness, Defective
ladder
 or stair, slippery floor, Loose material in assess etc.
 Fall of material due to failure of lifting appliances, Tools & tackles, Loose material
 Keeping at edge on height or near floor opening, Poor method of Material lifting &
 shifting etc.
 Mechanical hazard (entanglement, contact with sharp edge, Ejection like spark and
small
 particle emitting during grinding job.)
 Electrical hazard Like Fire, Electrocution, Burn injury, Fall due to electrical shock.
 Fire Hazard due to hot job near flammable material, Inadequate storage of Flammable
 material metal storage tank, Smoking,
  Physical Hazard like heat, Poor illumination, Cold stress,
 Environmental hazard like dust, fumes, Gases, NOx, SOx, Noise
 Ergonomical hazard includes repetitive movement, manual handling,
workplace/job/task
 design, uncomfortable workstation and poor body positioning
 Chemical hazard like dust, fumes, gases create central nervous system problem &
 respiratory problem due to inhalation and create skin problem when come in its
contact.
 Vehicle movement may cause of hit to person, Hit to object or Collision or topples
 Long term exposure of Noise create Hearing loss & Known as Noise induced hearing
 Loss (NIHL). Vibration create vibration induced white finger

SEVEN BASIC GENERAL INDUSTRY SAFETY RULES

1. Keep work areas clean. Proper housekeeping alone can go a long way in
preventing injuries. Injuries such as slips, trips, falls, lacerations, sprains,
strains, etc. can be reduced by keeping work areas organized and clean.
2. Use the proper tool for the job. Avoid the first impulse to use whatever tool
(or object) is around you to get a work task done. Using the wrong tool for the
job can result in an injury or damage to the tool which can lead to an injury in
the future.
3. Always wear the proper PPE for the work task. The lack of PPE, or the use
of improper PPE, leads to many injuries in the workplace. PPE is the last line of
defense when protecting yourself from the hazards of your work. If you come
into contact with a hazard when not wearing the correct PPE the injury will be
more severe than if you were wearing it.
4. Never work on live equipment. Working on energized equipment is an
unsafe act that can result in serious injuries or fatalities. Always follow proper
lock out/tag out procedures prior to performing any maintenance or repair work
on equipment.
5. Make sure chemicals are properly labeled and stored. OSHA issues many
citations regarding hazard communication every year. Improper labeling and
storage can lead to injuries or property loss due to fires, corrosion, etc.
6. Communicate hazards to other personnel. Never assume that a coworker
understands the hazards of a task, especially if they are new or new to the task.
When work plans or conditions change take the necessary time to inform others
of the impacts the changes have on safety.
7. Stop work when needed to address hazards. Always stop work to take
the time to get hazards addressed to make it safe to continue the task. Whether
you need to involve other personnel such as a supervisor or you need to take
time to get the right tool for the job, always take the time to do so.
8 .Reduce Workplace Stress
Workplace stress can include long work hours, heavy workloads, conflict with
coworkers, and/or improper or dangerous working conditions. These types of
issues can lead to distraction or rushing. If you are experiencing any of these
issues, it is best to talk to your manager.
9. Stay Sober
Alcohol and drugs account for over 3% of all workplace injuries and fatalities.
These substances can reduce the ability to exercise the proper judgement,
decrease concentration, and reduce motor skills.

10. Follow Correct Procedures, Don’t Take Shortcuts

Shortcuts might seem like a good idea in order to save time, but not following
the proper procedures increases the likelihood that you will do something
incorrectly. Performing a task incorrectly can lead to injuries immediately or in
the future and can cost your company time and money.
